Car Park 2 (P2)

Evening BA out of Terminal 2? P2 keeps you closest.

Car Park 2 (P2) sits right next to Cologne Bonn’s Terminal 2 and is signed as a long-stay, multi‑storey option. It’s on-airport, indoors, and you walk roughly 7 minutes from your space to the T2 check‑in desks. BA and other non‑Schengen carriers use Terminal 2, so P2 is the natural “park and walk” choice if you’d rather skip shuttles.

Pricing is mid-range for CGN: around €18 per day and roughly €100 for a 7‑day stay, so weekly trips often work out cheaper here than paying day‑by‑day in the closer premium zones. You pay at machines in the structure and then exit with the ticket, so keep it handy. For trips longer than a week, do the maths against off‑airport lots; comparison sites sometimes beat that €100 mark by a good margin.

The layout around P2 can be messy. Reviews call out jumbled walkways and roadways between the terminal car parks, with poor signs for Terminal 2 in particular. Expect tight ramps, narrow spaces, and small elevators similar to other terminal garages at CGN. If you’re in a wider SUV or van, go slow on the ramps and aim for end‑of‑row spots when you can.

Demand spikes for P2 line up with Terminal 2’s non‑Schengen banks, especially early‑morning and evening departures. That can mean a few loops around the levels to find a space when several BA and other non‑Schengen flights leave within the same 2‑hour window. Regular BA flyers on forums sometimes skip P2 altogether and use cheaper off‑airport shuttle parking instead, adding 20–30 minutes for the transfer.

Practical tip: arriving from the A59, follow signs for Terminal 2 and P2 specifically, not just “Parkhaus”; screenshot the route on your phone before you enter the airport loop so the confusing last turns don’t cost you extra time.
